i have been charged twice for my bill this month? i paid my bill an hour ago and it has just come out again just now.

@chloe203 

As you have a direct debit or card payment set up you should never need to make a payment as you have done. What will happen now is a credit will appear on your account for the amount you have overpaid and this will be used to pay your next bill so on that bill no money will be taken from your account. If you want the overpayment returned does the credit appear on your account because if it does we can arrange some help via here for you if you want ?

Iv been charged twice how do I get the money back to my bank account?

@Kirsty142 
Have you made an unnecessary manual payment? If you have a continuous payment method set up you should never need to make a manual payment. A credit will appear on your account for the amount you have overpaid. This should automatically be used to pay your next bill so on that bill date no/less money should be taken from your account. I would recommend not making manual payments unless requested to by Sky.

However, if you prefer, once your extra payment is showing as a credit we can perhaps get you some help in getting it refunded (within the standard 3-5 working days) through the Messaging Team. Let us know on this thread if you want to do that having confirmed it’s showing as a credit.

It's showing as credited for next bill but yes I would like a refund
